Homophobia at Amazon.com

According to internet reports over the weekend - Amazon.com has deemed most gay-themed books as "adult" - thus stripping them of the sales rank and making it difficult to search and/or purchase. Gay classics such as Giovanni's Room and Rubyfruit Jungle have now been effectively labeled as "porn". Andrew Holleran's Dancer From The Dance - a book that helped me to come out of the closet - is also on this list, as is Brokeback Mountain.
This is an outrage! Not to mention the fact that it takes money directly out of the pockets of gay authors (such as Dust Bunny Eric Arvin). Please go HERE and sign a petition to protest Amazon's new "Adult" policy. Homophobia will not be tolerated!

New York Times Banned in China - DAVID DUST Allowed

On Friday I read a report from MSNBC.Com about how the Chinese government has blocked access to websites with content they deem "illegal". This basically includes any website with negative information about the Chinese government.
But apparently Papis, Top Chef recaps, and hottie pictures aren't illegal in China - because I notice readers from China on my Feedjit quite often. How do you say "Welcome, Biatches!" in Chinese??
